Cream together the butter and sugars, stir in egg and vanilla. Now mix in flour, baking powder and salt until just combined. The batter should be crumbly and you will probably need to use your (clean) hands to combine it a bit more to form a dough ball. Cover in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Now form into small round disks, about 2-3 inches in diameter and uniformly thick. You want your cookies to all sort of match each other in size because you will be placing one of top of another to form sandwich cookies. Bake at 350 F for 15-18 minutes, allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before adding filling. Once cool, spoon a couple of tablespoons of Nutella on one cookie and place another on top. Devour, and don't apologize.

Yum. There are all sorts of magical nutella recipes on pinterest lately… make your own nutella, and then use it to make brilliant cookies (like these!) or fill doughnuts, or add to brownies… it’s addicting!

In Lucca (Italy) I had a thin, crepe- style pancake with nutella in the centre. Lovely , except the girl had put so much nutella in it was sickly. Once I had removed about half a jar, it was divine. I have always loved nutella and on a bad day a teaspoon is just the most perfect sweet treat!! I also love a drizzle of warm nutella on vanilla icecream. Maybe I should get out more!!

Have you tried it with bananas? Best thing is to make a slit in the banana with the skin on and put a couple of teaspoons of nutella in the middle. Wrap the whole thing in foil and bake in the oven or place on the bbq.. best thing ever!

Ahahah! So happy you’re in love with it! As an italian I can say that we enjoy it almost in everything such as bread, cookies or croissants…even if I usually taste it on my fingers 😉
Try this: Nutella tart…I bet you’ll adore it!

Nutella has been feeding generations here in Greece (well before that we had Merenda which is local and just as good but Nutella grew sooooo big). It’s our favorite topping for crepes (thin pancakes) either with crushed almond/biscuit (p’tit beurre kind) or banana bits… The latest one we call it Chocobanana. Either or Nutella is divine!

These look so good! I have sworn off Nutella forever after having eaten it for 2 months straight on a backpacker’s budget, but perhaps I will break that to make these. Random fact of the day: Nutella is to Europeans what peanut butter is to North Americans. It’s almost impossible to find peanut butter overseas!

oh yum, Nutella! My must have item when I travel somewhere I know won’t have them. I can usually eat this stuff straight out of the jar (which is bad, I know!). The cookies look delicious though. Will give them a try soon!

It’s really funny to read that someone tried Nutella the first time, when we here grow up with this and are DYING to try some of your yummi food you have in the states. Emma I’d love to see a recipe for bubble tea because this is something we can’t get over here and whenever Elsie mentions bubble tea, I really really wanna try some…

I was introduced to Nutella by a roommate in college who came from Germany. She said we it was to die for & she was right! We loved to eat it with triscuit crackers. It was the perfect blend of salty & sweet.

Nutella is THE best thing ever made! I make a “special dessert” which is basically a pastry with Nutella in the middle – amazing! I am definitely going to make these cookies. I cannot wait! I will let you know how they turn out. 🙂

That and a cold glass of milk surely is a perfect combination for a snack that is not only easy to make but also fantastic to share with friends! Another thing, it’s a fine pick to make the cookie with simple flavors, so you could appreciate the flavor of both cookie and the spread itself.

Nutella is one of my favourite things… I know I won’t get a chance to make these for at least another 5 days (and I want them now!). I wonder if sandwiching the Nutella between 2 Amaretti biscuits would work?

Hey, I made this recipe and GOSH!!!!!!!!!! People were fighting to get the last “sandwich”…My friends and family loved it so much! Well, the recipe is pretty simple (which made me able to make it) and the results are AWESOME…I love Nutella but those cookies made Nutella even more delicious!!!!!!…Thanx a lot Emma…;)

Oh, no! I should NOT have found this xD I can do nothing but head to the nearest shop and do some ingredient-shopping 😛 Unfortunately Nutella is soo expensive in Finland, so i will go for a cheaper option instead 😉 But i suppose, i will re-do this recipe after returning back to UK, where i study. 🙂 Argh. This may have been a mistake…

We just made these. They are delicious! We shaped them into small hearts, frosted with Nutella and added red sprinkles. Perfect little valentines cookies! Thanks for sharing. We will be using this recipe often!

Nutella is my secret happy place at work. I keep a hidden spoon and a jar of this in my bottom drawer at work. I put it on my cutie’s slices and/apples. If I want carbs I mix it with my Honey Pretzels…. soooooo delish.

I can’t believe you just tried NUTELLA!!! Lucky you, its been the cause for my overweight through out my life and my obsession with it!! LOL! This looks delicious!!! I wish you could make me some and send them to spain!!! 🙂 Im definitely gonna try the receipt but I won’t tell anyone about it so that they don’t get their hopes up… (I’m a terrible cook 🙁 ) hehe… Thank you so much for this post, the pictures look incredible as well!! PS: LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!

Those look amazing. When I was working in France, me and the other girls all got a giant tub each, and used to sit around dipping oreos in…when we ran out of oreos ‘nutella fingers’ quickly substituted 😀

Hello! I’m a new reader of yours and i stumbled upon this post and decided to give this recipe a try. The finished product was great and my family and friends loved it! I wish I could show you a photo of the cookies I baked. 🙂 Please keep posting more in the DIY section! 😀

I made these cookies the other night and while I left them to cool, my brother’s friends came in and ate a few without the Nutella. They said that they were the best cookies they’ve ever had (: It was my first time baking too.

Hi SigningCharity, I have just recently seattrd facing my issues with PPD. I am beyond lucky to have found the PPDchat communityand specifically, you. You have helped dig me out of the darkness, held my hand during mega anxiety and listened when I needed To vent. You have been so loving, caring ad compassionate even while you are hurting yourself. I cannot find the right words to express how grateful I am, so these will have to do. SigningCharity, you are an amazing woman. Thank you for sharing, and being passionate about helping others thru the darkness.

I live in ItalY and I’m Pure Italian…and I was born with Nutella in my DNA…any Italian family has a Nutella jar at home..and the best is the simpliest way: fresh bread and (lot of) Nutella! Unfortunately i have to deal with diet now that i’m grown up..i’m 48 and still would like to have breakfast with it every morning! ;D
